Info on Devon Christensen Fundraiser in Grace Idaho

Hi all, Ok, I received this information from Jill London Williams. Thank you Jill for the information, I wanted to get this on the blog, even though I am not sure if my editor is going to allow me to cover it for the Journal. I will keep everyone updated as to if I will be there covering it or not. Please read through, and share with all of your friends.

Thanks

Here's the info about Devon's fundraiser that I got from Traca Sorenson

There will be a fundraiser for Devon Christensen, his parents are Kim and Sue Christensen. "Give Devon a Ride" will be held on Saturday, April 16th. As you know, Devon will be in a wheel chair for the rest of his life. In order for him to get from place to place, his family has to lift him into their van, then transport his wheelchair. Devon desperately needs a van with a lift. As a community, we can make this happen. Here is how you can help:

There will be a volleyball tournament on that day in honor of Sue, who has coached a lot of us in junior high or high school. This is open for all who love to play the game. Put a team together and contact me. We currently have 6 teams registered. There will be a $5 per person participation fee for each team. The tournament will start around noon in the high school gym. ( If you would like to play, but don't have enough for a team, please let me know and I will try and form a team with those individuals.)

There will also be a Basketball game with the High School Varsity Boys playing the Faculty and Coaches of GHS. It will be held at 6pm in the high school gym. We invite the whole community and alumni to come and cheer on the team of your choice. There will be half-time entertainment by the Rockin Rhythm Cloggers, Showtime Dance, and the Social Dance Club. There will be a $5 donation at the door per person (There will be a family rate, also).

In addition to the two things above, there will be concessions and a bake sale going on all day as well as a silent auction. If you can't make it to the games, please stop by and buy a treat to support this great cause. Also, if you cannot make it, please mail any donations to me at PO Box 285 - Grace, Idaho 83241. Please write the check/money order to Sue or Devon Christensen.

Also, there will be a 5K Run held on April 30th. What as great time for you to support the fundraiser and see how in shape you are for the upcoming summer runs. If you are interested in participating in the 5K, please let me know and I can get you more information.

Please spread the word about this event. We would love to see everyone come out and support the Christensen Family. If we all work together, we can make it happen. Let's give Devon a Ride!!
